Mr Kumon was a teacher and parent who wanted to help his son do better in school. Focusing everything on his son's actual ability, the unique instructional method he created was so successful that his son was able to do calculus by the time he was in the sixth grade.

After enormous success with children across Japan, what evolved as "The Kumon Method" began to spread across the world from the early 1970's starting in New York, USA and Taipei in Taiwan. By 1984, with more than one million students enrolled, Kumon came to Sydney, Australia and grew in popularity across all states and territories.

Kumon's English and mathematics programmes help children master those fundamental skills essential to their overall academic performance.

Mr Kumon provided universal evidence of his belief that every child possesses untapped abilities. Belief in every child's potential to excel remains central to our philosophy. In short, there's nothing a child can't do.

The Kumon Method was developed to unlock the potential in every child. This is what we believe. It's our mission and every day young Kumon students are realising their potential at more than 300 Kumon Centres in Australia and New Zealand just like the Kumon Centre in Tuggeranong.

With centres in 44 countries, Kumon has helped more students succeed worldwide than any other after-school programme of learning.

Kumon Tuggeranong is located at the Calwell Shops in Calwell ACT. Jane Hiatt, the centre's Kumon Supervisor with her experienced team of centre assistants are serving the Tuggeranong Valley community on an ongoing basis. Every child's journey is indiviualised and pursued with a passion to see them become confident and self-learning students willing to face challenges enthusiastically and proactively.
